Thole exits after apparent head injury
Josh Thole - C - New York Mets
May 7, 2012 - 9:50 PM ET

Josh Thole left Monday's game against the Phillies in the eighth inning after taking a shoulder to the head at home plate.

Ty Wigginton was out on a slide into the plate, but his shoulder inadvertently leveled Thole, who fell face-down in the dirt before being attended to by a team trainer. While the 25-year-old backstop walked off the field under his own power, he will almost certainly undergo tests for a possible concussion. Stay tuned for an update on his status.
